The name regicide has had millennia to develop, while I think it is likely that this novel method of obfuscating the succession crisis has not had similar time or cause for neologization.

Never worn one. I’m on Fedora 43 if it makes you feel better.

Similar stuff exists everywhere. India has some of the worst I have seen, but there are places in the USA that are no better. Some Native American reservations are on par, as are parts of the most rural and poorest states.

That is a lot of toxicity for nothing of any value whatsoever.

It is an easily mistaken context dear neighbor, if one were to project my abstraction into some emotional space, but I assure you the assumption is patently false. For when I say such a society it is an abstraction against my perception, and principally grounded in the post about the man that died on an airplane. I am calling out the chasm of how the morals and ethics extrapolate, and conjuring a picture that illustrates my point. I lead off that illustration by clearly stating that my perspective is ungrounded and that it is impossible to do so from such a simple scope of a time and place. However, I’m also conjuring a circumstance that should garner empathy to counter other sentiments I see as grossly immoral.

Further, one should duly note that In have clearly stated I care about anyone and everyone, which obviously includes the wonderful people of India. I do not accept any assertion that some lives are merely acceptable collateral damage due to the population density or narcissistic adolescent halfwits that fail to project themselves onto the lives of others with empathy.

So it is quite the opposite of what you imagined. My indignation is against those that accept these poor people as worthless, if that happened to be the case, and the image was plain and straightforward. It does not matter whether my assumptions are correct in the trauma I felt when seeing that image. The moral and ethical implications of the abstraction extrapolate to the situation on the plane. If one dead body is irrelevant, than six are equally the same, and the end result is a complete breakdown of civilization into barbarism. That it is grounded in a kernel of reality, lends the illustrative tool the teeth needed to make the principal stick, however it is only an abstraction.

Skimming 4chan random a couple of months ago, there was a post on the worst of India. One picture was of a train route with a few tracks and a half dozen people strewn dead across the ground. It was impossible to tell the circumstances, but they were clearly dead and broken. No one cared. All the surroundings were business as usually and no one was responding or concerned. By the way things looked, some had been there for awhile.

Nope. Fuck that. I want nothing to do with such a pathetic amoral society. I will gladly miss my connection out of respect for life, anyone’s, everyone’s. I care about you digital neighbor reading this now. My slight inconvenience is not worth more than your life.

It is probably very difficult to transport a dead person post mortem, and lessening that journey for your family is important too.

Yup, but it stays shut off until the next person pays or uses the button. It is just a microswitch on a flap.

Leave the thing on the ground so the next car kills it properly. Nonconsensual ads are digital rape. It is the same moral scope as buying and selling a person’s digital presence to manipulate and exploit them is digital slavery.

Any company with an advertising budget for spamming and wasting my time is clearly indicating that their competition has a product with better value and reputation. Ads are public service announcements of what to never purchase.

I will not watch ads for anything at all. My time is not subject to that nonsense. I’ll go read or do other things.

I may check out this GOG eventually. Accounts, subscriptions, micro transactions, and criminal proprietary extortion are why I stopped gaming for the most part. For me, it has been full-source or fuck off for a long time. I cannot fix stupid in anyone else but me. I will not support criminal extortion and bank account skimming scams. They only exist because people have no real moral depth and self respect to say no.

How are other powers sending observers or other roles that monitor the evolution of technology and tactics, officially or unofficially?

I do the shaky thing too, but I think it is just psychological tbh. At calorie crash levels of no blood sugar during extreme endurance sports, it is totally different. It is like someone straps lead weights all over your body. Everything feels heavy and nearly impossible to move.

There is probably some kind of dynamic regarding different types of sugar in the system that cause the shakiness.

Your brain ONLY works on sugars. So calorie crashing, like hitting the wall, is when your body has to start cannibalizing your own muscles for sugar to fuel the brain. I’ve never been anywhere near that level except on a bike after 4+ hours and 60+ miles. You feel like a puddle, and joints are like bending copper wire. There is no shakiness in that state.

I am baffled that wrestling theater exists. It was cringe to me even as a young kid.

I have a dream. A dream of kaliaude code.

There are already models trained on reversing binaries too.

My favorite surprise language is very very Asian looking with a hillbilly southern accent and slang. Really any distinctly atypical phenotype mixed with redneck is fascinating. I can easily opt out of my southern accent. It is not my default. I find it funny how some people cannot switch it off.

More junk stalkerware getting pushed. Try putting up a DNS white list (default blocking) firewall and then try white listing their servers. There are many many connections required to make it work and most make no logical sense. You’re running a ton of stalkerware junk in the background. Trusting that BS is a mistake IMO. Like if you need it for some reason, a virtual machine or separate hardware device and network are pragmatic.

How do you know if you are rational? Or rather, what is rational logic?

Do you have someone in mind, or a more generalist’s question?

Start with Plato’s writings about Socrates. Republic, is widely considered the best. You can listen to lectures like this old one from Professor Sergue of Princeton YT from the 1990’s. Note that the late Professor passed a few years ago, so naturally YT promotes it because it is high quality content, in medium/low resolution, and no one is likely claiming the revenue. In other words, do not feel guilty about using Pipe Pipe, and perhaps just download a copy to keep on hand. That is a rather good 3 part lecture series. This is something your local library will have in book form. If you search for “mass market paperback” with Plato, you are likely to find new books at around $5 too. These generally have more updated text than gutenberg.org, but that has several options too.

Developing a philosophical mind and independent ethos like Socrates will do much to help you develop in very useful ways, both inside and outside your bedroom.
